Garmin OnDeck Relay Switch, For OnDeck Hub, 24Vdc, Up to 8A

Overview

The Garmin 010-13009-07 is a 24 Vdc relay switch that lets you turn a DC accessory on and off through a Garmin OnDeck Hub. The control side operates on 15.6 to 31.2 Vdc, and the switched contacts are rated for loads from 0.1 A up to 8 A at 20 to 32 Vdc (up to 9 A at 10 to 16 Vdc).

Once it is wired and configured in the OnDeck system, the switch can be controlled from the ActiveCaptain app and from compatible Garmin chartplotters. A single OnDeck Hub can support up to five relay switches, which is handy when you want separate control of a few circuits rather than tying everything into one feed.

This is a good fit for 24 V boats that already have an OnDeck Hub installed and want remote on and off control for a modest-load circuit such as lighting, a fan, a small pump, or powering a network segment, as long as the current draw stays within the relay rating.

Key features

• 24 V control voltage range: 15.6 to 31.2 Vdc on the relay coil side
• Switching capacity: 0.1 A minimum load; up to 8 A at 20 to 32 Vdc (up to 9 A at 10 to 16 Vdc)
• Supports up to five relay switches on one OnDeck Hub
• Switch control available through the ActiveCaptain app and on compatible Garmin chartplotters after configuration
• Operating temperature range: -15 to 85 C (5 to 185 F)

Installation and setup

Mount the relay where it stays dry and is protected from spray, typically near your DC distribution point so the high-current wiring runs are short. Secure it so it cannot move or chafe as the boat pounds, and keep wiring supported with proper strain relief.

On the wiring side, think of this as two parts: a low-current control connection into the OnDeck system, and a separate set of contacts that switch your accessory circuit. Label both ends while you work so the switch name in the app matches what it actually controls at the panel.

Electrical and system integration

Plan the switched circuit like any other onboard DC branch: fuse it correctly, choose wire gauge based on current and run length, and keep all connections clean and tight. Stay within the contact ratings, especially with devices that have a high inrush current.

If you are switching inductive loads like a solenoid or small motor, follow the device maker guidance for suppression and wiring practices to reduce arcing and electrical noise.

Compatibility and fit

This relay switch is for OnDeck systems running on a 24 V supply, with the control side requiring 15.6 to 31.2 Vdc. If your boat and OnDeck Hub are powered from a 12 V house bank, this is not the right relay version for the control side.

On the load side, it can switch either 12 V or 24 V circuits as long as the current and voltage stay within the published contact ratings, but it is typically used in 24 V installations to match the onboard system voltage.

Use cases on board

Owners commonly use an OnDeck-controlled relay for deck or cockpit lighting, a cabin fan, a small utility pump, or powering a piece of equipment that you want off when the boat is unattended. It is also useful when you want a controlled feed to a subsystem that otherwise would be left energized at the dock.

Maintenance and care

Recheck terminals after the first few outings, then inspect periodically for corrosion, looseness, or chafe. If the relay is in a locker that sees moisture, keeping connections sealed and supported will do more for long-term reliability than anything else.

Shipping

Not every product is eligible for international shipping; checkout will confirm eligibility. We do not ship to PO Boxes except through USPS, and not all packages qualify.

Processing and dispatch
Most orders are verified, packed, and handed to the carrier within 1 to 2 business days. Some products may need extra handling time or ship directly from the manufacturer. For certain international orders, inventory transfers between warehouses may add time. If any delay is expected, we will let you know the dispatch date.

Delivery and tracking
Deliveries are handled by trusted carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Estimated arrival times appear at checkout and depend on your location and the service you choose. These are estimates and can be affected by customs or carrier disruptions. A shipping confirmation with a tracking link is emailed when your order ships, and tracking may take up to 24 hours to update. You can also view tracking in your account.

Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country. If these charges are refused and a shipment returns to us, the carrier’s return cost and any re-entry customs fees will be deducted from the refund. If your order is late or you need help, contact cs@qualityboatparts.com and we will assist you.

Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.

Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.

To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.
